Stinker Lets Loose

"She may be an insane chimp, but she's my insane chimp!" Mike Sacks is writing the apotheosis of avant garde comedy-books written as found documents, trawling through the ephemera of suburban America, jokes low-brow, bizarre and visceral in a package more formally taut and wildly ambitious than nearly anything published as literary fiction today. Stinker Lets Loose is the deadly accurate novelization of a non-existent '70s drive-in film, complete with images from the set; it explores the implications behind Eastwood and Reynolds vehicles while one-upping them in puerility and wildness. "If you don't know who Mike Sacks is, well, you should. His writing is funnier than just about anyone's and now he has a podcast that is excellent. I say Hooray for Mike Sacks and everything he stands for." -David Sedaris "He's the best kind of comedy writer; a bona fide weirdo with virtually no interest in satisfying anything other than his own personal obsessions." -Andy Richter "One of the Best Comedy Releases of the year." -Splitsider "Top ten comedy release of the year!" -Vulture
